My 92 940 (160k) developed this ‘overnight’ clunking on the rear, RH side that rears its ugly head pretty much at any speed, especially on the highway (texas’ rough highways) or on choppy, city streets. I can reproduce the clunk by pushing down on the RH quarter panel and depressing and compressing the rear suspension (on this side) pretty violently. The shock absorbers are a few years old, and are not loose. I don’t think it’s the shocks, becasue during a normal (pretty good up and down) push on the quarter panel, I don’t get the clunk. I really have to trounce up and down on the quarter to get the noice to occour. BTW, when it rains, the clunking goes away. And as I said earlier, the clunking is very, very evident while driving.
It does seem like the noise is coming from the ‘arm’ that travels from the rear, RH side of the axle to the mounting point right in front of the tire.
Could the bushing on this arm be at fault? According to the FAQ, I can replace a few of them, but a qualified shop will have to replace all of them.
Would it be worth me trying to replace all the ones I can? Or should I just take up to the shop and let them do them all? What kind of $$$ might this cost? Thanks guys.
